vintage
Special effects may be lacking, but vintage horror films still manage to keep our palms sweating and blood pumping; a look back at retro horror films, stories, books and characters that prove everything is scarier in black and white.
The Bedroom Window That Was Never There
A Normal Room Lily’s bedroom was nothing special. Bed, bookshelf, lamp shaped like a cloud, blue walls, one window that faced her backyard, and a desk where she never finished her homework. She lived with her mom, who worked night shifts at the hospital, so Lily was often home alone from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The Mirror That Remembers
Hey, wanna hear a scary story? I’m serious, this one’s not like those cheesy ghost stories where you can guess what happens. This one? It actually happened to someone I know. Well, a friend of a friend’s cousin. But still—people talk about it like it’s real. I’ll tell it to you like a friend, the way you tell someone a secret that still gives you chills.

The Mirror Room
You know how when you first enter a place, it just doesn't feel right? Not because something’s obviously scary. No blood, no ghosts. Just that quiet feeling in your chest like something is watching you—even though no one is there? Yeah. That’s what this story is about. A room full of mirrors. Seven of them. And one rule: Never look into the seventh mirror.

The Voice at the Door
The rain was a steady, mournful rhythm against the windows, a soundtrack to the oppressive silence inside our small cottage. Three days. It had been three days since we’d buried my mother, Clara. Three days since her vibrant laughter, her comforting presence, had been reduced to a cold, sterile memory. The grief was a physical weight, pressing down on my chest, making every breath an effort.
